Former Wexford Youths star Eric Molloy departs Polish second tier side Stomil Olsztyn

Former Wexford Youths midfielder Eric Molloy has left Polish second division side Stomil Olsztyn after a one-year spell at the club.

Stomil currently lie in ninth position in the Polish second tier, just three points off the playoff positions.

Molloy played 12 league matches for Stomil this season and represented the ‘White and Blue’ three times in the Polish Cup.

The Carlow native is a former Republic of Ireland under-18 international who played with Slaney Rovers, FC Carlow and Arklow Town before signing for Shane Keegan at Wexford Youths in February 2012.

In 2015 Eric scored three times in 21 league appearances as the Wexford Youths won the First Division title.

The following season he bagged two Premier Division goals from 23 league appearances but Wexford were relegated back to the First Division following play-off defeat to Drogheda United.

At the end of 2016 Eric left Ireland to live in New Zealand where he played for Southern United.

After one season in Otago, Molloy made the switch to New Zealand Premiership champions Team Wellington for the 2017-18 season.

Recently, the 27-year-old played against Chelsea twice last summer for both Bohemians and St Patrick’s Athletic, scoring against Frank Lampard’s side for the Gypsies at Dalymount Park.
